Question

in order to write the equation for a piecewise linear function shown on a graph, what do you need to determine? (1 point) the minimum and maximum values of ( x ) and ( y ) the equation of each linear segment and its corresponding range the equation of the single line segment over the domain of the function the equation of each linear segment and the interval for which it is applied

Explanation:

A piecewise linear function is made up of multiple linear pieces, each active only over a specific part of the domain. To define it, you need two key things for each part: the equation of the linear segment, and the specific interval (subset of the domain) where that segment is used. The other options are incomplete or incorrect: min/max values don't define the function, a single line can't represent a piecewise function, and "range" refers to output values rather than the input interval where each segment applies.

Answer:

the equation of each linear segment and the interval for which it is applied
